In Panasonic bridge cameras history until now, the latest announcement was on August 25th, so this time is largely exceeded. The hope now is that Panny will release FZ 200 successor before...

For my opinion, it is the worst period but Panasonic had always annouced its 2 bridge cameras between July and August (so far, 25 as latest). Iwould be much more interesting for them to announce...

In France there have been infos about the name of the first-class bridge: It will be called FZ280. There are no leaks about the features for now. My guesses: - slightly extended zoom 24-720 mm eq....

In the late seventies, there was the famous Minolta Rokkor RF250mm/5.6 that had the size of a 50mm/1.4 even if it was for ff. Very useful for war zone photography.

And there is one singer-writer-composer who made a song for a film: Paul Simon who wrote "Kodachrome".
